LONDON, Ont. – Autoparts maker Brose Fahrzeugteile says it will cut 100 jobs at its London, Ont., operations by the end of the year.
The German company says it is adjusting production capacity at the manufacturing facility to meet shifting customer demand.
The company did not specify which shifts it is adapting to, but the automotive market in general has been moving away from passenger cars towards various types of SUVs including crossovers.
